Lost and Found!!

[goodeyesniper]

Well, a few months back, halfway through the work day I realized my beloved Case Swayback Jack in CV was missing from my pocket. Unfortunately, part of my job consists of driving many different customer's vehicles throughout the day. I checked the last couple vehicles I had been in to no avail. I made sure to let everyone know that I had lost it, in case someone came in to return it. Well, after a few days I figured it was a goner for sure. I figured this is probably the nicest pocket knife that lucky customer had ever got to hold, and weren't in a hurry to play good samaritan...

Fast forward a few months to today, when it was returned! Lady pulled up, told a coworker that there's a knife on the floor of her car and she thinks it might be one of ours, he recognized that I had lost one and got it back to me.... Luckily it was lost in a nice person's car, the bad part was that it looks like they NEVER clean their car, and that's how it was misplaced for so long

Definitely brightened the rest of my day a bit.

I remember your post when you lost it - glad you got it back!

I found a nice snap-on ratchet, wobble extension and deep well socket under the hood of my wife's Impala after she had it in the shop when the engine light came on and she was near a dealership.

I returned it to the mechanic of course.

A Happy-End! Great for you. I also can remember, when I read about how you´ve lost it.

(You can be glad that some people clean their car after a couple of months. Some don´t do it a couple of years. )

Kind regards

Nice to see you two reunited, but the pain of losing my great grandfather's Case XX #61 at a baseball game at a local park has been resurfaced :sorrow:. I really loved that knife.
